On Patriotism

True patriotism is more than getting a lump in your throat when the flag passes by. it involves determination on your part to se that America remains free. It involves your willingness to put the best interest of the nation ahead of your own self-interest. Single interests may be important. But the art of democracy is the ability to recognize the common good. The ability to give and not just to take. 231 million people can pull our nation apart or pull it together. Which way did you pull today?
